Great vibes!! For sure in my top 3 hostels I’ve been to in Sri Lanka! Staff is friendly, a small family with two adorable kids. They are always in for everything, they give you a lot of info about the country, about the surroundings! Oh and let’s not forget the comfy beds and the delicious breakfast!! Barbecue nights are just perfect! Wifi works well compared to other places so if you need to work remotely, this is your place to go! I wish I could have stayed longer! Thanks Jud and Isuru!

A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.

The best accommodation in Sri Lanka. I have never felt more at home in any other accommodation than here. For me personally, it was incredibly great that it felt like I was in the jungle. The rooftop was definitely one of my favorite places. The food was delicious and I can recommend the accommodation 100% and will definitely come back. It was very clean, I slept great with the fan and the staff as well as the owner were just lovely. Thanky you for everthing guys - you do everything right!

This is really good hostel. Nice clean rooms. We lived in a common room: the fan, lamp, sockets are all working properly and work on each bed. The common living room is cozy. In the common kitchen there are dishes, a stove, a refrigerator, and drinking water. The hostel has a laundry service.

The location was perfect, right near the main public transport terminals in Galle. Having been away from SL for quite a few years, it was exceptionally easy to find. The food was amazing, I had been craving Sri Lankan food the whole journey down and the food at the Sydney hotel (linked to the snooze station) really hit the spot. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Assisting me in finding my way around and recommendations. I think I have found my place to stay whenever I make it to Galle!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I can honestly say that this was the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The whole building, including the rooms, was so clean and stylish. The location was perfect because you’re amidst the jungle away from the crowd and noise, yet only a short walk to the beach. The staff are all lovely and caring - the best hospitality standard I’ve come across. Plus the food is freshly made… authentic Arabic dishes that taste incredible! This place has my heart! I booked 2 nights but ended up staying 5! Thank you Habibi team 🌷🌀💗
